The Five Boroughs

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

Brooklyn Cyclones

MCU Park, 1904 Surf Ave.

Brooklyn, NY 11224

description/

The Brooklyn Cyclones, the single-A minor-league farm team for the New York Mets, are among the newest teams in New York sports: Since 2001, they’ve been playing in MCU Park (originally Keyspan Park) on Coney Island, about an hour’s subway ride from Midtown. Their namesake nods at the nearby Coney Island Cyclone, the landmark wooden rollercoaster (which is still open seasonally, though the Astroland amusement park is closed).
